One word of advice, don't show off your rooted NC to anybody that&#8217;s not tech savvy because they will want you to root theirs for them. I made the mistake of bringing my NC to a family gathering and the next week I had to root 3 NCs. Two of which had been updated to 1.2.(this was a little harder to root)

You know, B&amp;N sells these things. Pretty easy to get. Don't understand why someone who has many would need to sell you his personal one.

Oh well, I don't have to understand. Enjoy.

You don't have to understand, but here's the whole story. I work at B&N, so does the guy I bought it from. Until very recently, we did not get any discount on any nook items. He bought several, I think to have one stock and one rooted. He decided not to bother rooting the extra(s) and several months ago offered it to me at a discounted price. I still couldn't afford it so it sat.

A few weeks ago, employees started getting discounts which put the new price where his asking price was. As a result, he gave me a better discount. I saved quite a bit over a new unit, that's why I didn't walk into any B&N for one.

Not to mention that the only advantage of a "new" unit would be the full one-year warranty which was promptly voided within an hour of bringing it home. This Nook is like-new, no marks and came with its box and original accessories.
